Exo Terra Solar Glo mvb good? test results please?

[kbro]

I'm looking for testing results of the Solar Glo bulbs, are they good?
Is the uvb output right?
How often to replace?
Any info regarding this bulb, it's being preached about at ONE place and the only info I find says different then what they say.

You can find what you're looking for at UVBMeterOwners on yahoo groups. The test results are in their file folders. The complete tests are there but it's not mine so I can't post them here.

Are you sure it's the Solarglo they are referring to? That's not a great bulb, as it tends to die quickly and is varies a lot in quality from bulb to bulb. However Exoterra just came out with the Sunray metal halide, which is an incredible bulb. Its really fantastic, and reasonably priced. I was surprised, as generally Exoterra makes poor quality lights, but they really got that one right.

Yes I'm sure they are talking about the solar glo they even post pictures, one person in the group tested it and claims they are one of the best bulbs to use and everyone in it is suggesting it now. I tried telling people I've never found anything really good on the bulb, most people said it was inconsistent and a poor bulb for uvb. But they believe this one person for some reason and are not doing their own research on it. I was then pm'd saying I needed proof and that she does her testing (with a junk meter btw). I did provide links for proof for people to check out but no one listened to me, I apparently have no clue what I'm talking about and have not done research, which I do tons because I'm at home most of the time and want the best for my beardies.

I tried finding the results in that group, I joined when you mentioned it before when we talked but I can't seem to find them. I will look around again. I'm just so upset, this person keeps saying it's a better and everyone should try it. I don't know what to do anymore there to convince people. They also say it definitely last a whole year, which I've never heard about them.

Would you be willing to tell me which group? I'd be happy to help you make your point more definitively. Feel free to pm me if that's better. I can also then guide you to the files you're looking for.
